Capecitabine and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, calls or treatment using a genuine doctor. We are not docs. Always consult your dr. on Capecitabine and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Capecitabine and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Clinical research trials and Capecitabine and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer healthcare trials occur in a lot of of places throughout the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the potency of new drugs. The intent of the studies / undertakings is to figure out certain human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to locate remedies for all kinds of circumstances, including Capecitabine and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. Capecitabine and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Many times the participants undergo treatment for free, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Capecitabine and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer clinical trial. Participants typically obtain the most effective healthcare available for their Capecitabine and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer condition. Dangers are a reality, nonetheless, and can include extra or frequent mD trips, medical hazards (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Capecitabine and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
For Condition: Colon Cancer,Rectal Cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Hoffmann-La Roche ,
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining capecitabine and irinotecan in treating patients who have locally advanced, recurrent, or metastaticcolorectal cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the overall objective response rate in patients with locally advanced, locally recurrent, or metastatic colorectal cancer treated with capecitabine and irinotecan. - Determine the time to treatment failure, time to overall response, duration of overall complete response, and time to progression in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the 1-year survival and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the toxicity and safety profile of this regimen in these patients. - Determine the feasibility of predicting responses to this regimen by the molecular profile of tumor tissue in patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 2-15 and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients maintaining a response or stable disease after 12 courses may continue treatment at the discretion of the investigator. Patients are followed every 3 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 65 patients will be accrued for this study within 9 months.
